- Tichy 16y agoI guess everybody should have the right to risk his own life. It's just a shame if it is a hype about setting records that would lead to such a waste.
- ctkrohn 16y agoThe problem is, he's not just risking his own life. Everest is climbed often enough that he's risking the lives of others, too. If he is near another climbing party and something goes wrong, he could block the route, create an obstacle, trigger an icefall, or otherwise endanger them. Granted, he's climbing the less-crowded north route, but it's still a potential difficulty.
